If you are looking for my Seasons Givings Blog Hop post, please go all the way to the end. Thanks!

Hey y'all! Saving the best for last on this New Year's Eve Party with Rita Barakat - HA! Hope you are enjoying each challenge and that you will try (+ learn) new techniques :)

NYE Challenge #7: Mine is a concept called "Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside" with your projects. I will show you different techniques but will use one to create a finished project. Let's get started!

Double Dog Dare to Wear Challenge Tag Step Outs

With most of my mixed media projects, I use Gesso to prime my tag base (think a foundation for make-up).

Next, apply an Adhesive Sheet on top of my tag. Cover as much as you can. I burnished here and there for a distressed look.

Here's a quick video on How to Use Adhesive Sheets (ignore the die-cutting part but that's cool too - lol!).

Now for the fun part! Cover the entire tag front with Midnight Magic Embossing Powder by Rita Barakat and Emerald Creek. Tap off the excess and melt the powder with a heating tool. Here is a before/after image below. The effects are amazing!

These Cowgirls die cuts are so cool! Rita Barakat designs die cuts and I knew I had to have this set :) I trimmed out the white background a little because I wanted my background to show. Thank goodness for little scissors! LOL!

Wanted some dimension behind the die cut so I added Crafty Foam Tape on the back. It sticks well to the rough surface and I can cut as long or short to fit the shape.

I had some material that I cut into narrow strips and threaded them through the tag opening.

Using the computer, I printed out the phrase "Double Dog Dare!" on white cardstock and cut into a strip. Using the Crafty Foam Tape, I placed them on the tag and it's done!

Pin It!

For another example, I used 3D Creative Foam Sheet (double-sided adhesive foam sheet) and Mermaid Fin Embossing Powder to make a dimensional background or die-cut from. It's heat resistant!
